Doing Firm-Real-Time with J2SE APIs

Today’s real-time developers face a variety of challenges covering a broad spectrum of requirements. No single Java “standard” best suits the needs of all developers. Using appropriate implementation techniques, “standard edition” Java makes an excellent platform for development of large and complex firm-real-time systems. Compared to so-called “real-time extensions” for Java, this approach offers much easier development and maintenance, greater portability, scalability and flexibility, and improved dynamic behavior.
